[QUOTE="jack412, post: 519752, member: 97664"] I've had 2 successful periods of non smoking, the first was homemade aversion therapy by focusing on the act of smoking, take note that when you draw the smoke in its hot on your throat (something the brain normally blocks out) draw again and feel it burn. After you have smoked half the cigarettee like this, take a draw feel the heat and then cough while the smoke is in your lungs. It took a few days before I couldn't stand to light a cigarette and gave up for 5 years before restating then out came the nicotine patches and chewies, they work and I've stopped several times with them. I'd then weaken and buy a pack or restarted by accepting an offer of a cigarette from a friend, [U]thinking one wont hurt[/U] after a dozen of these over a week or so, you buy a pack to pay them back and in a few days you're back to 20-30 a day, the last time, I got short of breath and went to hospital, They took a cat scan looking for enfersemia and growths/cancer. Luckily it turned out to be a week in hospital with viral pneumonia, Scared the hell out of me and I haven't smoked since, it brought the reality of smoking home to me. to be honest you seem to be playing at giving up, or you would just buy the patches and wouldn't wait for the appointment on the 29th [/QUOTE]
